"Custom" apparently means a lot of things

This is the part of the house where the knife wielding maniac is waiting around the corner.

What the hell is that, a hallway somebody took the door to the bathroom off of? The layout makes it look like a half bath that was opened up for some reason.

Realtor says you can get an Ag exemption, but the property is only 14.95 acres and Brazos requires 15...

I hate putting this one up here, but the realtor is calling this Paradise in the Country with rolling green pasture. Im not sure I would classify it as that...

Wouldn't you need 16 acres then? 1 to declare your homestead and 15 remaining to declare as ag exempt? Honest question. I don't know enough about ag exemptions.

I have no idea. We dont have enough for ag exemption, so I never looked into it.

This house is across the road from us. I really wonder what happened to the couple that was living there. They were super old, and I havent seen them in quite a while. And there were big 18 wheeler moving trucks (multiple) a few weeks ago before it was listed

there's a little known loophole, wherein you simply have to yell "I declare an AG EXEMPTION!" loud enough for 51%+ of your contiguous neighbors to hear you, and you're all good.

Does this also work in Harris County?

they've gone virtual...not nearly as fun

Right!?!?! I live across the road, and I love where I live, but that is not the description I would give that place.

Man did they make a bunch of ugly houses around that time on the northwest side! Any problems showing up yet from them being built like that?

Also how did the area where the whole hillside gave way turn out? I think that happened in early 2010.

this modern leaving room just screams texas city to me.

Problem for Todd and Margo in trying to sell this are the obnoxious neighbors next door.

I like modern and I'm not even sure what exactly WTF I'm looking at in there. Besides the black wall of WTF it's like a truck straight from Big Lots showed up.

The cast iron drain line is a nice touch.
W Huisache Ave

I generally like industrial looks, but it is ridiculous in this scenario.

The worst part about it is the paint and scuff marks. Make it look good if it has to be out in the open.

The house claims to be from 1937. Gotta have something that old in the house somewhere and the cast iron pipe is all that's left.

I uh. We'll I just don't understand.

She/he/they are into some weird stuff between the office, mannequins, and moody color we have leather clad garmets and storage containers where the dead bodies are dismembered. A real life Dusk till Dawn setup.

"One of a kind vintage home" well they're not lying!

That is a really strange listing and sold history too.

How has this not been posted yet?

Omg how do you even explain that?

As my kid would say, "Murder House."

Not that unusual for houses right around the crash to see those low prices. It was probably trashed out and considered a distressed property after someone purchased as a rental property. If you look at the public records it's a fairly common story.

In 2005 a flipper bought it, fixed it up, and sold it. In 2009, the buyers from '05 had to sell their rental property to avoid foreclosure (or in foreclosure) and Wells Fargo bought it. Wells sold it for cash shortly thereafter.

The several transactions since the purchase in 2009 have largely been within the same family and as part of probate until the 2014 purchase with an FHA loan by the current owner.

that place looks like the house version of the former Wilde Collection in houston

Interesting history. This was a **** home built in 2000, sold for the low $300Ks in 2012 and eventually went into foreclosure in 2016.

Some moron eventually bought it in 2017, gutted it and added on, and has been trying to sell it ever since.

They couldn't get a million for it in January so 1.25MM seems totally reasonable now. Guessing they're hoping some California numbskulls come and bid full price.

Woof! I bet roofers love that place
